Description
Two Strangers. One Tractor. One Sizzling Ride!
HARD BACK EDITION WITH THE EPILOGUE YOU ASKED FOR!
Welcome to Vogel Springs! Stay a while if you can...
From the sound of bacon frying and sliding meringue to coveted tractor emoji invitations this sexy, sizzling small town romance will make you glad you did.
Wren Baldwin isn’t running for her life. She’s running from it. Until her Maserati stops running near Vogel Springs, Texas—home to Hudson Bass, the only man in a hundred miles who can fix it. She hits town just as his life is spinning out of control. But, dammit, if he can’t keep his eyes off her. The mechanic who can fix anything but himself may have found the fix that will break him.
WREN
My car broke down. I felt an attraction to a stranger, and I fell in love with a quaint town. That’s all that’s happened here. Once I get my car back, things will look differently. One last glance across the street at the Pit Stop that comes up empty-handed, and I can’t pop out of bed fast enough. I’m out of here.
HUD
I can’t allow myself to have her because she’ll leave in a matter of days. But watching her hurt, all I want to do is erase the pain I’ve caused. I’ve got a legal battle looming and too much baggage for a pack mule to carry. How can I pile it on top of this delicate creature? Even though her heart is breaking right now, she’ll leave and forget a country boy like me in a week. It is what it is.
Advance Praise
"Loved this book from the first three pages!!! It gave off Lucy Score/Claire Kingsley Vibes, and they are two of my favorite rom com authors. I've now added Miss Liberty to that list!!!! The witty banter ( and internal funny thoughts) was 15/10. This gave me the giggles, the snorts, and the swoons. I loved it and will be off to Amazon to see if she has more books to read!!!"
"Can I just say, I need some Hudson Bass in my real life! Way to knock it out of the park, Liberty Stowe. Hud is my new book boyfriend, and I think this may be my favorite Small Town Romance read of the year! The visit to Vogel Springs is a much needed kick off to summer! I love the author's description of this carved out place in the Hill Country of West Texas, as well as how grounded the story stayed between the two main characters and the moving parts of the thriving town. You can't help but escape with the FMC into the locals' arms that are spread wide for her. So much of this read surprised me, touched me and resonated with my own experiences of the ideals of small town living. This is the town you want to escape to... it's the place you want to hang your hat, and the people you want to surround you on your greatest day, and your worst ~" Jodi M. BookTok

Liberty Stowe delivers a touching romance centered on healing, trust, and learning to move forward. Steady Now balances emotional vulnerability with lighter moments of humor and hope, creating a relationship that feels authentic and deeply satisfying. It's a heartfelt contemporary romance that stays with you long after the final chapter.
Desi J, Reviewer
OMG I loved, loved, loved this book. It's so good instead of going to bed I was up till 2am reading. Since the first chapter I knew this book was going to be good. What happens when you try to run away from life, well first you three hundred thousand dollars car brakes in the middle of nowhere the lady on the phone sends a tow track and you are about to pee you pants. Things are not going too good for Wren. But the moment she lays eyes on the mechanic Hud there are sparks between him and the Maserati Lady. Hud is trying to figure out life he ex won't give him custody of his son, even tho she doesn't want him, the town people are avoiding his business because he won't sale his land to the company that is trying to build a factory on his land. One think leads to another from helping her find where to stay to she putting her pride on the line and going to see her father for him this amazing two find love with each other
